What to consider?
- Size: The size of the umbrella should be large enough to cover a single person. The length must be ideal so that the umbrella fits in your backpack or is easy to carry. Umbrellas are usually 10-11 inches long. Keep in mind that carrying a very large umbrella may not be convenient. Some umbrellas can be folded and some umbrellas can not be folded.
- Frame: The frame is a very important factor to define the quality of the umbrella. The frame protects the umbrella from breaking during high winds. So, look at the firmness of the frame. Some umbrellas have double frames and are long lasting.
- Fabric: Umbrella fabric should be light and durable. It should be protected not only from rain but also from the sun.
- Color: Black color always works in any condition of rain or sunlight. However, anyone should choose the color of his choice.

Manual vs Automatic Mechanism
An umbrella acts as a shield from the sun and rain. However, an umbrella can be operated in two ways: manual and automatic mechanisms. Both mechanisms have different advantages.
- Manual Mechanism: Manual umbrella is basically an old-fashioned umbrella, which requires a runner to slide over the shaft to open and close the canopy. However, the user has complete control over the process of opening and closing the umbrella. As a result, there is no risk of the umbrella tipping over in excessive wind. Moreover, the simple design, light in weight, and convenient to fold make it easy to carry. Umbrella with manual mechanisms are less expensive.
- Auto Mechanism: An umbrella with an automatic mechanism works on a spring-loaded mechanism. As a result, the umbrella has to be closed and opened by pressing a button. The big advantage of this mechanism is that it can be opened and closed quickly with one hand in case of sudden rain or when carrying a shopping bag. Since the umbrella with this mechanism is made in a sleek and modern design, it is a bit heavier in weight and a bit more expensive. However, the demand for automatic umbrella is high in urban areas due to their speed, convenience, and ease of operation with one hand. With an auto mechanism Umbrella price in BD ranges from 450 Taka to 900 Taka, which price depends on the umbrella's two-fold or three-fold. The three-fold umbrella is called a simple capsule umbrella, which is more convenient.
Handle Grip - Straight vs Curved
- Straight Handle Grip: This type of handle grip is made in a classic, simple design and provides a comfortable grip. As a result, it is easy enough for everyday use. Moreover, the umbrella with this handle is quite stable and comfortable.
- Curved Handle Grip: Curved handle umbrella like J and C are commonly found in our country. The J-shaped handle basically looks like a hook or a curved shape. It can be easily carried by hanging it on a bag or wrist. The C-shaped handle grip provides more space for the hand to hold, which is good for long-term carrying or extra style.
Advantages of Windproof Umbrella
- This type of umbrella can withstand strong gusts of wind, does not easily tip over, or break.
- Even when the wind picks up, a windproof umbrella maintains its shape and cover, providing reliable protection from rain or sun.
- Moreover, windproof umbrella is made of materials such as fiberglass, hardened steel, or high-grade aluminum, so they do not bend or break under the pressure of strong winds.
